-As with previous Society Games, we have an email system which allows players to communicate with each other and with GMs after a session ends; in character, these emails represent either electronic messages sent through the Contingency network or in-person interaction you might have with PCs or NPCs. The complete list of email addresses to contact people can be found on the [[player_characters|Characters]] page. All email exchanges should end by **22:59 on the Thursday after session**.+As with previous Society Games, we have an email system which allows players to communicate with each other and with GMs after a session ends; in character, these emails represent either electronic messages sent through the Contingency network or in-person interaction you might have with PCs or NPCs.

 The GMs are able to see all emails sent to an @contingency.oxfordrpg.com email address for safeguarding reasons and to keep track of developing themes, but we may miss certain things.

 If you're having trouble receiving emails from GMs or players before or during the game, try checking your Junk inbox.
